Honestly, I think EVERYONE in the FFXIII cast did a fantastic job. Yes, including Vanille's VA. I've seen some interviews, and the girl KNOWS a lot of people think her voice is annoying, but that's just how the directors wanted it to be. Plus, there's a reason behind her cheery, loud attitude.
I just
Ugh :/
I dunno. Even in her dramatic moments I thought she was at best, decent. Certainly not to the level of everyone else, but I'll have to see her in something else.
Also, Troy Baker is amazing, how did I not know of him until XIII? I know he was around long before it, but one minute I'm like, "Who is this Troy fellow, he's actually really good" and now he's in everything ever. Two face, Bioshock infinte, he's apparently Ryu Hayabusa, Vincent, jfc he is everybody. And I'm okay with that.
Hope's really good too even though he's pretty young. But it's probably because he's been in Phinneas and Ferb and has a good amount of experience. I'm kind of interested in seeing how he'll play Hope now that he's older. It's okay for a seventeen year old to play a 14 year old kid, it'll probably be harder to pull off a 25 year old. Reno Wilson is great to, he does comedy really well and the drama stuff even better. Also, upset that Fang/Rachel doesn't seem like she's getting any new roles. That makes no sense to me because she proved to be so good, what the hell voice acting world.
Also, everyone loves Ali Hillis. I'll be honest and say that at first I was kind of worried because I wasn't fond of Liara and I hated how her voice sounded like she ran a fucking marathon and she was out of breath. But she was great as Lightning and now I can't see any one else as her.
Also she sounds like the nicest person ever who genuinely loves playing Lightning. And it gives me the warm fuzzies when I see a VA love and respect their character.
I'm done lathering praise over the VA's, but XIII really did make me a fan.
